Candidates forum scheduled in Clarion

From staff reports

An election primary candidates forum for the contested offices of Clarion County commissioner and Clarion County register/recorder will be held at 7 p.m. April 18 at Main Street Center in Clarion.

The forum host is the League of Women Voters of Clarion County.

All questions will be submitted to a committee that will review them for appropriateness and clarity and to eliminate duplication, the league said in a news release. Each candidate will have an equal amount of time to respond to each question.

The League of Women Voters of Clarion is a nonpartisan organization that does not support, oppose or endorse any political party or candidate. The league said it encourages citizens to play an informed and active role in government, and it conducts candidates forums to provide opportunities for voters to hear the views of those running for office.
